2. System Overview
The ProST is an outdoor WiMAX-based customer premises equipment (CPE). The ProST, which
uses Intel Corporation’s Pro/Wireless 5116 broadband interface, connects IP-enabled devices
17
ProST Hardware Installation User Guide
directly to WiMAX networks. Designed for the residential and small enterprise (SME) markets, the
device supports high-speed broadband Internet through a Fast Ethernet connection.
The ProST ensures high service availability at enhanced ranges, operating in both LOS and NLOS
propagation environments. ProST uses the OFDM signaling format, providing non line-of- sight
(NLOS) performance. ProST utilizes QAM, QPSK, and BPSK modulation technologies by
modulating transmitted signals and demodulating the received signals where the original digital
message can be recovered. The use of adaptive modulation allows ProST to optimize throughput,
yielding higher throughputs while also covering long distances.
ProST models support IP services at speeds of up to 37 Mbit/s over-the-air gross rates over
channel bandwidths of up to 10 MHz in both uplink and downlink. ProST is available in numerous
ETSI frequency bands, operating in FDD and TDD modes in numerous channels, see: ProST
Frequency Ranges and ProST-2 Frequency Ranges.
ProST is also available in a multi-mode model (ProST-2) based on the Intel ® Rosedale chipset
which supports both TDD and FDD.
ProST can be deployed with a built-in, integral antenna or alternatively, with an external antenna
to provide better radio coverage. Requiring professional installation, the ProST is installed
outdoors on a pole or wall, enabling optimal positioning for best reception with the BS. Outdoor
mounting of the ProST is made possible due to ProST's built-in lightning surge protection feature
(complying with Surge Immunity standard EN 61000-4-5).
ProST is powered through the SDA-1 Type II (referred henceforth as SDA-1) adapter which
interfaces with the subscriber's LAN. ProST connects to the SDA-1's 100BaseT interface port by
a standard 100-meter CAT-5 cable. The SDA-1 also provides the ProST with 10 to 52 VDC power
supply. However, as an alternative to these adapters, Airspan offers three optional integrated LAN
switches:
• SDA-4S Type II: A standard integrated LAN switch, providing four 10/100BaseT
interfaces with the subscriber’s computers. This model is ideal for SOHO
implementation.
• SDA-4S/VL Type II: Provides VLANs between ports and the ProST, ensuring privacy
between LAN users of the different ports. For example, all users connected to Port 1
do not "see" users connected to Port 2. This model is ideal for multi-tenant (VLAN
security) implementation.
• SDA-4S/DC Type II: integrated LAN switch, providing power and four 10/100BaseT
interfaces and especially designed for implementation where available power supply
is DC (10 to 52 VDC), e.g. from a solar panel. This model provides regulated –48
VDC power to the BSR.
All SDA types work in VLAN Pass-through mode. Tagged and Untagged packets are forwarded
transparently by the SDA. The SDA has no VLAN ID configuration per port.
ProST can be managed by Airspan's Web-based management system using standard Web
browsers or alternatively, by an SNMP-based network management system (Netspan) using
standard and proprietary MIBs. In addition, external third-party management systems such as HP
OpenView can also manage the ProST using these MIBs.
Note: For management refer to WiMAX Web-based Management for
Subscriber Stations User Guide.

Pole mounting allows the ProST to be easily adjusted in the horizontal (azimuth) and vertical
(elevation) planes for antenna alignment. The ProST is mounted using the mounting holes located
on the ProST's back panel and the supplied (when ordered) pole-mounting brackets. The pole-
mounting bracket is designed to support the ProST on a round pole of 45 mm in diameter.
The figure below illustrates a summary of the ProST pole-mounting procedure.
a. Align the mounting bracket with the ProST's mounting holes so that the mounting
bracket's side with the built-in nut is aligned with the ProST's mounting holes furthest
from the ProST's bottom panel, as shown in the figure below.
b. Slide an M10-flat washer and M10-spring lock washer onto an M10-hex head screw
(ensure spring lock washer is closest to the bolt's head). From the external side, insert the
M10-hex head screw through the mounting bracket and ProST's mounting holes. Fasten
the M10-hex head screw (one is provided with a built-in nut while the other requires you
to insert an M10-hex nut into the ProST's mounting hole). Max torgue for M10 is 44Nm
(32lbf.ft.).

slide these joints together! They will be damaged if you try to snap them
together or apart. They ONLY slide together in one direction. This should be
obvious by looking at them carefully.
1. Assemble the red and black plastic housings together. Mate both connectors, by sliding
them along the dovetail joints. When looking at the connector side (not the wire side), the
red connector should be on the left and the black on the right. The housing dovetails
should be mated fully.
2. Connect the power connectors to the SDA-4SDC power receptacles so that the connectors'
color matches the receptacle's color, red to red (positive), and black to black (negative).
3. Connect the other end of the power cord to the third-party DC power source. Ensure that the
positive and negative sides are correct.

already crimped to the other end, ensure that you have fed the cable through the gland nut
beforehand. The gland nut secures the cable to the grommet.
3. Strip about 0.25" (6.35 mm) of the cable sheath and expose about 0.03" (0.8 mm) of the
strands/wires.
4. Secure the wires to the protector's terminal block using the two spot ties. Each side of the
data and DC assembly has + or – markings to ensure lines entering (surge side) match lines
exiting (protected side).

provides LEDs that indicate the ProST's received signal strength (RSS) with the Base Station.
Once the RSSI LED Plug adapter is connected, you need to orientate the ProST (or third-party
external antenna) to the position where the RSSI LEDs display the highest RSS measurements.
The RSSI LED Plug adapter connects between the ProST and SDA by a CAT 5e cable(s). The
RSSI LED Plug adapter provides two 15-pin D-type ports: one for the ProST side, and the other
for the SDA side.
The RSSI LED Plug adapter can be connected in one of the following manners:
¾ One end connects directly to the ProST's 15-pin D-type port, and the other end connects
to the SDA (IDU adapters) by a CAT 5e cable.
¾ Both ends connect to the ProST and SDA by a CAT 5e cable.
The following describes the RSS LED Plug adapter's cable setup:
¾ Cables: two straight-through cables for connecting the RSSI LED adapter to both the
SDA and ProST
¾ Connectors:
• ProST side: 15-pin D-type male (only 6 pins used)
• RSSI LED Plug adapter:
o ProST side: 15-pin D-type female
o SDA side: 15-pin D-type male
• SDA side: 15-pin D-type male
The LED status for each RSSI level is defined in the following table:
Table 17 ‐ LED Status per RSSI level
RSSI Level dB LED 0 LED 1 LED 2 LED 3 LED 4 LED 5 LED 6 LED 7
97dB- 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

Before connecting the power adapter to the ProST, you need to connect the AC power cable (that
connects to the subscriber’s power outlet) to the adapter, as described in the following procedure.
To connect the RSSI LED Plug Adapter:
1. Connect the 15-pin D-type male connector, at one end of the straight-through cable, to the
ProST.
2. Connect the 15-pin D-type female connector, at the other end of the straight-through cable
from the ProST, to the RSSI LED adapter.
3. Connect the 15-pin D-type male connector, at one end of the straight-through cable, to the
SDA.
4. Connect the 15-pin D-type male connector, at the other end of the straight-through cable
from the SDA, to the RSSI LED adapter.
Note: You can connect the RSSI LED Plug adapter's 15-pin male port
directly to the ProSt's 15-pin female port, instead of using a cable.

Note: RSSI response time has been proportionally increased (from previous
models) to enable longer alignment.

Caution: Before powering on the ProST, ensure that some type of equipment
such as an antenna or an RF attenuator is connected to the N-type
receptacle. This eliminates the risk of irreversibly damaging the ProST
device.
Note: The ProST model that provides an N-type connector for attaching a
third-party external antenna does not contain an internal, built-in antenna.
The following lists the cable setup for attaching the external antenna:
¾ Cable: RF coaxial
¾ Connector: N-type male
To connect a third-party external antenna to the ProST:
1. Connect the N-type male connector of the third-party antenna to the N-type receptacle
located on the ProST's bottom panel (labeled ANTENNA), as displayed below.
